When You are Gone

When You are Gone

A Poem by Lenah Mehzabin

 



It’s been years now

When those Chickadees used to sing in that orchard tree

Behind the lavender garden

We lived, and heard it’s sweet melody

But now there is rust in our window grill

Covering our finger prints

The days of our 20’s..

 

Looking at sky..

 Still now my heart skips

Pain that I try to hide… reveals.

 

You are the Golden star now

 Beside all those silvers

Because once I said it was my favorite

& so You made it your place for forever and ever..

 

Today is again 15th August

And I’m not going to put that rose in a stupid ,dark ,isolated place

When people named it Your  grave

 

Because You are here !

Standing with me

And I’m in my red Gavilina Gown,

You wanted me to wear in every anniversary..

 

Because You are here !

In front of our mirror

Trying to help me with my chain

But failing …as You are so busy

……… playing with my neckline

And I can’t keep Your hands off me !

…………………………………………….

 

But Baby ?

They don’t believe  me

So they are calling me mad old lady

They are saying You are  go"go.ne

Gosh! The-these words ! ..Noh

No NOuuh

This is very sweet :) According to Epicurus we are made of atoms - matter - that can't be destroyed, therefore we have to go somewhere when we die because we can't not exist. So why is the theory of ghosts so implausible? I loved the lines "Because you are here!/Standing with me..." So simple and so poignant. Great job.

You are welcome. I enjoyed your poetry.
A beautiful and heartfelt poem...
I lost someone I loved very much a few years ago...there are times, I know he is here with me. An angel perhaps?
Your poem touched my heart.

Wow, this is so brilliant!! You know I got goosebumps when I read the last lines.
And I didn't know to think it could be good or bad you could actually see someone whose dead now, 'cause I would like to see my grandpa then. But, ¿What does it mean when a spirit is still walking among us? ¿ Does it mean that it hasn't rest? ¿does it mean that he/she has something pending?

This is the way I see it:
There's a place beyond our comprehension and knowledge where souls go, where they belong. But they do not belong here,so they shouldn't be here. And it's easy to know why, because they are no material anymore, so they can't interact with us,or at least not the way other living people do.

Beautiful writing, I love the way it evolves, to the point you realize not only that the person whose the poem talks about is dead but the fact that is present, as a ghost beside her love.
For an instance I thought he was just gone, to somewhere else and left her alone!

Lovely poem!
